As Doug has already said, not by default. Some email clients or plugins (such as Thunderbird/Enigmail) allow you to define which key to use when encrypting to a particular email address, others (such as The Bat!) do not. A user who cannot configure their email software in this way could instead define group lines in their gpg.conf file along the lines of group <[email protected]> = <@example.com> or group <[email protected]> = <[email protected]> or group <[email protected]> = <[email protected]> or group <[email protected]> = 0xDECAFBAD - -- Best regards MFPA mailto:[email protected] Dreams come true on this side of the Rainbow too! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQCVAwUBUg0yyKipC46tDG5pAQqwPAP+Jy4E3doG2AmCuYcGJVAL9Hh6nrsDeWF3 Gn+BrVBFoCOIbEqs96jOhee2EGTrKL2QPKqdYQFBDdKb2/QiCzUzxzsHIsYqpp6n WsD1pRmNovMnJxWrsjvQ4t3jKdaCkDG+CdGjiQskV6UYkmyelM4ACKBoyKGo0tcv RiRVGXc6LBI= =pnR1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
